Hideo Kojima, comfortable in his natural habitat (
Twitter) provided details of two regional versions of the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection. In Japan, the collection
does not include Peace Walker, but
does have a download code for the first Metal Gear Solid. The "
overseas version" (meaning the one we get) doesn't include the download, but incorporates the HD version of Peace Walker.
In both regional variants, the HD version of Metal Gear Solid 3 is based on the "Subsistence" re-release, which means it has optional, user-controllable camera angles. That version also comes with the emulated MSX versions of Metal Gear 1 and 2, adding two more games to the collection!
Kojima also
said that the Metal Gear Solid 2 HD release would be based on "subsistence," by which he must have meant "Substance." He wasn't clear on whether the basis was the PS2 or Xbox version -- a distinction that seems minor until you learn that the PS2 version had a skateboarding minigame that we need in HD. Finally, Kojima
tweeted an image of the trophy icons for MGS2 and 3, which you can see after the break.
